Palmyra, New York

Hello there —
come say hi
and take a look around.

We've been gathering stories you can hold in your hands — vintage finds, antiques, and curios from every decade — right here on East Main Street. No appointment needed; the door is open and the coffee's always warm.

Mon–Sat 10am–6pm 163 E Main St, Palmyra

Our Story

A shop built on
curiosity and care

Stuck in the Past started as a quiet obsession — a love for the objects that carry history in their grain, their patina, their quiet imperfections. What began as weekend treasure hunts along upstate roads grew into a proper shop on East Main Street, where every shelf and corner holds something that lived before you.

We believe vintage isn't just a style — it's a way of seeing the world more slowly, more deliberately. Every piece here has a previous life, a previous owner, a previous chapter. We simply help it find the next one.

Whether you're looking for a centerpiece for your home, a gift with character, or just a pleasant afternoon of browsing, we'd love to meet you.
